âInvestors were myopically focused on the âMagnificent Sevenâ stocks in 2023,â said Emerald CEO Scott L. Rehr. âBut at Emerald, we believe that âInnovation Starts Small,â as we work to identify and invest in smaller growth-oriented U.S. companies that fuel exciting innovation in sectors like healthcare, technology, consumer goods and fintech,â he said.
âWe say that the investment year begins in earnest with our annual Forum centered around our local Pennsylvania tradition of Groundhog Day,â said Emerald Director of Research Joseph W. Garner. âThis year our presenters will give our in-person and online audience real-time perspective and insight as they zero in on the innovation that drives our economy,â he said.
The eventâs schedule, list of presenters and registration details are available on Emeraldâs website at https://www.teamemerald.com/events/.
The first Emerald Groundhog Day Investment Forum was held in 1994 and has grown to become a definitive kick-off conference each year for investors focusing on domestic U.S. growth companies.
